This series uses material from the Great Schools of Dune trilogy by Brian Herbert and Kevin J
Plot
Two Harkonnen sisters fight forces that threaten the future of humanity and found a fabled sect known as the Bene Gesserit. Whether they’re exploring the stars, escaping a dystopia, or making the world a better place, these women are what science fiction is all about..
The instance where Valya Harkonnen uses the voice is from an event called “Mentats of Dune”
Anderson. A prequel to the original Dune, it tells how the Rossak sisterhood evolved into the Bene Gesserit.
Referred to in AniMat’s Crazy Cartoon Cast: The New Normal (2020)
All three books intertwine the development of the Sisterhood, the Mentati, the Navigators and the Suk Doctors. Honestly, the whole time I was watching the show, I had the feeling it belonged on SyFy.
Unfortunately, I think this falls into the category of recent shows like Rings of Power (which I’d argue is actually better)
I’ve heard that you have to read the book to understand this series, so maybe that’s why the story just didn’t seem rich or engaging (because I found myself distracted by everything around me, and that happens when I lose focus). While you can tell the production value was great, it just doesn’t seem to belong with MAX, especially with their other huge hits.
